He asked me how I felt about him?

So my crush obviously likes me because he has been hinting at it. This is what he said last night The one thing is that I can't tell him I actually like him. He is three years younger than me. I am in grade 12, he is in grade 9. Sure he is mature and cute and talented and literally everything I want in someone. But I can't tell him. I know he wouldn't tell but I know people would suspect we are dating and make rumors. Honestly, there's people jokingly saying that we are dating now bc we hang out at lunch sometimes. I don't know how to respond to him. All of my thoughts about him are pretty much how perfect he is and that I wish he was older so it wouldn't be strange. What should I tell him?

Updates:

Also I am afraid of making the freidnship awkward. We are close and hangout all the time. If I told him that I'm practically obsessed with him and he feels the same but we can't date it would make everything awkward and it might even mess up our friendship. Please help!

Tell him just that! Tell him how you feel, be honest! You shouldn't let society's standards stop you because it's "weird" or anything like that! If he likes you and you like him, I say go for it! Your own happiness should be your concern, not what the world thinks of everything. Especially if this is what you want. All he wants to know is how you feel about him, and he seems to really like you! Just tell him as honestly as you can how you feel! Even tell him about the age gap and if he's really okay with it. Tell him how you feel :)
